As for Hercules, he implied the only reason he calmed himself around was because he wanted to have her as a sexual mate despite being her half-brother, even outright saying they should both repopulate Olympus after the Gods had disappeared.

* NeglectfulParent: All things considered, she was shown to be considerably neglectful to her husband Terry Long and their son and step-daughter in favor of superheroics to the point where she turned Terry's farm into a summer camp for the Teen Titans without her husband's permission, with him deconstructing her Team Mom status by declaring she was a better mother to the Titans than she was to her own son. It escalated to the point her husband filed for divorce and was the defining cause for her family's eventual death because she was traveling in space with Kyle Rayner. Her awful mothering skills were mentioned again later on various stories as ReasonYouSuckSpeech points.

* IWantGrandkids: Occasionally shows this inclination around Diana. Especally when Diana was in a relationship with Nemesis. Granted, this was during a time when Diana and Hippolyta were the only two Amazons left which strongly influenced how they were thinking. And of course, Hippolyta was so desperate for a daughter that she moved the gods into miraculously creating Diana.

[[quoteright:275:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/58534d9f2717f9cd5b9c10d7631b7a46.jpg]]
The Queen of the Amazons always longed for a child, because out of the Amazons, it was she who was reincarnated from a pregnant woman. In reward for her service and leadership, the Gods gifted her with Diana. Hippolyta is a stern leader, but she is also a nurturer who loves her daughter.

%%* ActionGirl
* ActionMom: Never mind the fact that Diana ''is'' an adult...
* AdaptationDyeJob: Was originally black-haired like her daughter in the Golden Age, then blonde after the Silver Age reboot in the 1950's, then became black-haired again after the Crisis on Infinite Earths reboot in the 1980s, went back to blonde again after the New 52 reboot, then returned to black in ''Rebirth''. Was blonde in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' but dark-haired in [[WesternAnimation/WonderWoman2009 the direct-to-video movie]].
* AnAxeToGrind: Most often uses a great axe in battle.
* AllAmazonsWantHercules: In her case [[spoiler: The King of the Gods, Zeus]].
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Her destiny and the destiny of her amazons after Hera's punishment: [[TakenForGranite she is turned into stone]] and [[BalefulPolymorph her amazons are turned into snakes]] Subverted later on, when it turns out these Amazons are fakes and the real Amazons are fine]].
* TheAtoner: Hippolyta's stint as her daughter's replacement was part of her penance for inadvertently causing Diana's death in the first place. (She had an Amazon sorceress cast a spell to transfer some of Diana's power to Artemis, and never had the spell reversed.) [[JumpedAtTheCall She later started to enjoy the role.]]
* AxCrazy: When she's written badly, most famously in ''ComicBook/AmazonsAttack''.
* BiTheWay: Hippolyta is canonically bisexual, having been in love with both men (Wildcat of the JSA) and women (Phillipus).
* TheHighQueen: The ruler of Themiscyra, who's held in awe.
* IWantGrandkids: Occasionally shows this inclination around Diana. Especally when Diana was in a relationship with Nemesis.
%%* LadyOfWar
* LegacyCharacter: After Diana died and ascended to godhood, Hippolyta became Wonder Woman in her place. She travelled back in time to fight alongside the Justice Society, long before Diana's time, making her kind of the first Wonder Woman and making Diana a legacy heroine herself. This idea was [[CanonDisContinuity ignored by subsequent writers]] and done away with when DC rebooted its history during the Comicbook/{{New 52}}.
* MamaBear: When she's written right. [[spoiler: She presented a deconstruction of the trope when she manipulated Wonder Woman into giving up her title and sacrificing an unknowing Artemis to prevent a prophecy about her daughter's death as Wonder Woman from coming true.]]
* MySecretPregnancy: In the New 52, [[spoiler:Hippolyta made up the "clay" story to cover the fact that she'd gotten pregnant from Zeus. However, with the reveal that the New 52 Hippolyta was a fake, as was the New 52 Olympus, it's implied the clay story is the truth.]]
* ParentsAsPeople: She was very obstinate when asked to give up the mantle of Wonder Woman by her daughter since she enjoyed the freedom and adventure that she experienced and wanted to follow her dreams instead of being tied down as a queen and mother.
%%* ProudWarriorRaceGirl
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She isn't above getting her hands dirty (and, in one bit of comics continuity, was Wonder Woman during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII).

[[folder: Etta Candy]]
[[WMG:Etta Candy]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ettacandy.jpg]]
Etta Candy is Diana's best friend and plucky sidekick. Pre-Crisis, she was a college student who led the Holiday Girls, a sorority devoted to Wonder Woman. ComicBook/PostCrisis, she is married to Steve Trevor and is a snarky Air Force lieutenant colonel.

* ActionGirl: During the Golden Age she was this, being possibly the most capable non-superpowered fighter of Wonder Woman's supporting cast. When Robert Kanigher took over as writer he gradually turned her into a DamselInDistress instead. Other elements of this {{Chickification}} was later reverted Post-Crisis, during George Perez's reboot, where she's a military brat.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Pre-Crisis, Earth One (she's intrigued by Wonder Woman's stories of Themyscira, an island full of women, but is put off by their attitudes as it "spoil[s] [her] fantasy") and Rebirth.
* BadassNormal: When Simone is writing her. She manages to effectively blackmail Director Steel with his substance abuse habits in one of her first appearances.
* BigBeautifulWoman: With a loving personality in spite of her rotund appearance, this is implied.
* BigFun: Lovable BBW with a happy, bubbly and goofy personality.
* BoisterousBruiser: During the Golden Age. Combining a extroverted personality, comic relief and brawls.
* CatchPhrase: Whenever Etta became excited or agitated, she always shouted her trademark catch phrase "Woo-Woo!", which was later explained as a sorority thing.
* {{Chickification}}: When Robert Kanigher took over as writer after Marston's death a lot of her "non womanly" strengths were either downplayed or portrayed as flaws. When H. G. Peter died too Kanigher took the chance to retool Wonder Woman entirely (into what became her Earth-1 incarnation) and made Etta a conventionally 50's feminine (in both appearance and mannerism) DamselInDistress whose only remaining character trait was liking candy.
* ColonelBadass: Gail Simone turned her into one. Greg Rucka reinserted it during ''Rebirth'', portraying Etta as having become Steve Trevor's superior by the modern day.
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* DemotedToExtra: Though appearing less frequently in the Silver and Bronze Age, Etta was a recurring presence in Wonder Woman's supporting cast throughout both periods.
* DependingOnTheArtist: Etta's hair color has shifted back and forth from being red and blonde in her various (Pre-Comicbook/{{Flashpoint}}) appearances, while her height and weight are also subject to vary.
* FatGirl: In the '40s Etta was a notable {{aver|tedTrope}}sion for being something of an ActionGirl, not the slightest bit insecure, and frequently important to the plot; although still serving as PluckyComicRelief. Since the dawn of the Silver Age, her rare reappearances usually either depict her as insecure, or else emphasize her ActionGirl status while slimming her down a fair bit. However, ''The Legend Of Wonder Woman'' miniseries has finally returned her original personality, with some modern polish that's actually quite appealing.
* FatBestFriend: She was originally introduced as a Type A sidekick during the 1940s-1950s. She became more a Type B in the Silver Age, but has mostly been restored to her original personality in modern comics, where she is Wonder Woman's best friend and Steve Trevor's new LoveInterest.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: In Post-Crisis, Legend of Wonder Woman and Earth One stories.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: During the Golden Age. She was about half Wonder Woman's height, but could knock out groups of armed criminals/nazis with just her fists.
%%* PluckyComicRelief
%%* PluckyGirl
* RaceLift: Post-Flashpoint, she was redesigned to be a thinner, black woman and modeled after Traci Thoms' appearance in [[Series/WonderWoman2011Pilot the rejected pilot]] for NBC. After ''Rebirth'', she returned to being well-built, but remained black.
* ReplacementLoveInterest: Post-Crisis. Since the 1987 revamp, Etta has been romantically linked with, and eventually married to Steve Trevor, who is no longer Diana's love interest.
* {{Sidekick}}: Of Wonder Woman. Mostly in the Golden Age.
* SuddenNameChange: Has had her middle name vary from being "Marie" to "Olive". In the Earth One Story her name is changed to Beth instead.
* SweetTooth: As the name might suggest, Etta tends to love sugary food and drink. Her very first appearance has her eating a whole box of chocolate.
* WeightWoe:
** In the Golden Age, when Diana had mentioned to Etta the benefits of losing weight, Etta had made a compromise with Diana. If she lost ten pounds and felt better about herself, she'd lose fifty more. By the story's end, Etta had lost her ten pounds but was unhappy, so she simply asked Diana for her candy back.
** Post-Crisis, however, Etta had suffered from anorexia for a while. Feeling insecure about her weight, Etta developed an eating disorder that was kept secret from her friends. She was able to lose 20 pounds, but at the expense of her health. When she finally collapsed due to a lack of food in front of Wonder Woman while trying on wedding gowns, Diana advised her to take better care of herself and maintain a sensible diet. Since that time Etta has gained her original weight back.

Peter died too Kanigher took the chance to retool Wonder Woman entirely (into what became her Earth-1 incarnation) and made Etta a conventionally 50's feminine (in both appearance and mannerism) DamselInDistress whose only remaining character trait was liking candy.

* DemotedToExtra: Though appearing less frequently in the Silver and Bronze Age, Etta was a recurring presence in Wonder Woman's supporting cast throughout both periods.
* DependingOnTheArtist: Etta's hair color has shifted back and forth from being red and blonde in her various (Pre-Comicbook/{{Flashpoint}}) appearances, while her height and weight are also subject to vary.
* FatGirl: In the '40s Etta was a notable {{aver|tedTrope}}sion for being something of an ActionGirl, not the slightest bit insecure, and frequently important to the plot; although still serving as PluckyComicRelief. Since the dawn of the Silver Age, her rare reappearances usually either depict her as insecure, or else emphasize her ActionGirl status while slimming her down a fair bit. However, ''The Legend Of Wonder Woman'' miniseries has finally returned her original personality, with some modern polish that's actually quite appealing.
* FatBestFriend: She was originally introduced as a Type A sidekick during the 1940s-1950s. She became more a Type B in the Silver Age, but has mostly been restored to her original personality in modern comics, where she is Wonder Woman's best friend and Steve Trevor's new LoveInterest.

* SweetTooth: As the name might suggest, Etta tends to love sugary food and drink. Her very first appearance has her eating a whole box of chocolate.
* WeightWoe:
** In the Golden Age, when Diana had mentioned to Etta the benefits of losing weight, Etta had made a compromise with Diana. If she lost ten pounds and felt better about herself, she'd lose fifty more. By the story's end, Etta had lost her ten pounds but was unhappy, so she simply asked Diana for her candy back.
** Post-Crisis, however, Etta had suffered from anorexia for a while. Feeling insecure about her weight, Etta developed an eating disorder that was kept secret from her friends. She was able to lose 20 pounds, but at the expense of her health. When she finally collapsed due to a lack of food in front of Wonder Woman while trying on wedding gowns, Diana advised her to take better care of herself and maintain a sensible diet. Since that time Etta has gained her original weight back.

[[folder: The Amazons]]
[[WMG:The Amazons]]
''"We are indeed a race of wonder women."''

Reincarnations of abused women given incredible strength, the Amazons were charged to lead Ancient Greece into a better way of life. Unfortunately, when the Amazons were captured and violated by Heracles' tribe, they grew vengeful in their payback. The Gods charged them to keep guard of the demon Cottus on Themyscira as restitution. The Amazons are a race of warrior women, but they are very diverse and generally compassionate. The Egyptian sect, the Bana-Mighdall, was much more misandrist and kill-happy. Now that the Amazons are free from Cottus, they act as their own sovereign nation.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Some (Io) more than others.
** Nothing ambiguous about it, it's canon that the majority if not all of the Amazons are either lesbian or bisexual and that Io was in love with Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman's own bisexuality has only been hinted at though, at least so far
* LadyLand: Whether men are even allowed on the island is a question that is answered in different ways over the years. (The typical answer is "No, unless Wonder Woman invites them"; however, unlike the page image they will usually let a drowned, starving man into their hospital before deporting him). Also, there are occasional jokes about what the Amazons do for fun on an island inhabited only by women...
* StrawFeminist: In a few stories, much to the annoyance of the fans... don't even mention ''Amazons Attack''.

Artemis was raised by the Bana-Mighdall, a rough and misandrist Egyptian sect of Amazons. She briefly took Diana's place as Wonder Woman, and was promptly killed. She got better, and despite her disdain towards men and [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy warrior attitude]], she's become a close and loyal ally of Diana's and a true hero. She eventually becomes one of two leaders of Themyscrira alongside Philippus as the Polemarch (military leader).

* ActionGirl: She is an Amazon after all.

* HeroWithBadPublicity: The general public does not take kindly to this more vicious and abrasive Wonder Woman.

Etta Candy is Diana's best friend and plucky sidekick. Pre-Crisis, she was a college student who led the Holiday Girls, a sorority devoted to Wonder Woman. ComicBook/PostCrisis, she is married to Steve Trevor and is a snarky Air Force lieutenant colonel.

* ActionGirl: During the Golden Age she was this, being possibly the most capable non-superpowered fighter of Wonder Woman's supporting cast. When Robert Kanigher took over as writer he gradually turned her into a DamselInDistress instead. Other elements of this {{Chickification}} was later reverted Post-Crisis, but her Action Girl status never truly returned.

* BigFun: Lovable BBW with a happy, bubbly and goofy personality.
* BoisterousBruiser: During the Golden Age. Combining a extroverted personality, comic relief and brawls.
* CatchPhrase: "Woo woo!"
* {{Chickification}}: When Robert Kanigher took over as writer after Marston's death a lot of her "non womanly" strengths were either downplayed or portrayed as flaws. When H. G. Peter died too Kanigher took the chance to retool Wonder Woman entirely (into what became her Earth-1 incarnation) and made Etta a conventionally 50's feminine (in both appearance and mannerism) DamselInDistress whose only remaining character trait was liking candy.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: In Post-Crisis, Legend of Wonder Woman and Earth One stories.

The Queen of the Amazons always longed for a child, because out of the Amazons, it was she who was reincarnated from a pregnant woman. In reward for her service and leadership, the Gods gifted her with Diana. Hippolyta is a stern leader, but she is also a nurturer who loves her daughter.

Pre-Crisis, Steve was Diana's love interest, and Diana decided to stay in America after delivering him back from crashing near her island. After years of dodging his advances (she'd only marry him when she got rid of all evil in the world, y'see) she eventually did get married to him.

ComicBook/PostCrisis, Steve crash landed on Themyscira thanks to the machinations of Ares, and when Diana's mission was both to go to America to fight Ares, and deliver Steve to the hospital. Though initially distrustful, she struck up a close friendship with the older man, and he came to regard her as like a sister.

Donna Troy's past is... [[ContinuitySnarl complicated]]. But basically, she's Diana's sister. She is known for being a sweet woman and a good listener, but she's faced much tragedy and a tangled past in her life. She was originally ComicBook/WonderGirl of the ComicBook/TeenTitans, and now she forges her own path as simply Donna Troy. Comes equipped with the same bracelets as her sister, and a lasso that can override the mind of its victim, provided that Donna's will is stronger than their own.
----
* ActionGirl: Most of the time.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the ComicBook/{{New 52}} she was created in-universe to be a replacement for Diana by Amazons who disliked their new Queen's decision to allow their Amazon brothers to live amongst them. An issue of ''Wonder Woman'' had her leading a cohort of Amazons in slaughtering many of them.
* BadassPrincess: As Diana's little sister, Donna's also a Princess of Themyscira, and follows in her big sister's footsteps when it comes to asskicking.
* BashBrothers: With Diana, Cassie, and in a cross-gender example, Dick Grayson.
* BlingOfWar: Sported a silver suit of Greek-style armor in one arc, and has silver markings on her Troia costume.
* BoobsOfSteel: She's just as stacked, and just as strong, as Dianna.
* TheChewToy: She's doomed to suffer in her Post-Crisis incarnation.
* TheChick: Of the ComicBook/TeenTitans, especially in the first incarnation.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Has to wear a significantly different uniform from Diana, in order to differentiate them as adults (physically they're twins). During one story arc, when all three Wonder Women donned full Amazonian armor, Diana's was gold, Donna's silver, and Cassie's pink.
* DeathIsCheap: Died and came back, much like half the heroes out there.
* {{Determinator}}: Which is really bad news for anybody caught in her lasso. Chances are guys, that Donna's will is stronger than yours.
* FlyingBrick: Like Wonder Woman
* LikeBrotherAndSister: She and Dick Grayson are often written this way. Given that he's the DCU ChickMagnet and she looks like Wonder Woman this is somewhat surprising, but he ''really'' prefers [[HeroesPreferRedheads redheads]].
* MadeOfIndestructium: Her bracelets and lasso.
%%* NighInvulnerability

* ThePollyanna: Nothing can dent Donna's optimism
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She's the first Wonder Girl (now Troia).
%%* SiblingTeam: With Diana
* {{Sidekick}}-->SidekickGraduationsStick: Whether as Troia, Wonder Woman IV, or plain old Donna Troy, Donna's been a superheroine in her own right for years.
* StarSpangledSpandex: One of the few constants among Donna's costume is that it will have stars on it somewhere.
* StatuesqueStunner: Given that she's built exactly like her sister, this isn't surprising.
* SuperReflexes: Like her sister she can deflect machine gun fire with only her bracelets.
* SuperSpeed: Much faster than normal humans.
* SuperStrength: One of the strongest heroines around, in the same category as Diana, Supergirl, and Power Girl.
